Hello, So Endometriosis is a condition where in your endometrial tissue of the uterus gets deposited outside of your Uterus, ovaries being the most common site leading to generalised abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, pain during intercourse and generalised body ache and sometimes irregular menses and heavy menstrual bleeding. Depending on the symptoms and size of endometriosis it can have 3 modes of management- 1. conservative management for asymptomatic and small endometriosis- Adequate rest, use of heating pads, healthy diet, gluten free diet. 2. Medical management for symptomatic case and small or medium endometriosis who are not willing for surgery. Over the counter pain killers, anti inflammatory drugs and omega 3 fatty acids and hormonal treatment. 3. Surgical treatment- for symptomatic and large endometriosis which is the case in your condition. 79mm endometriosis is big and will need surgical management. This is can be done laparoscopically followed by hormonal treatment to induce amenorrhea for a few months so that your endometriosis doesn’t regrow. Hope this helps! Revert back for any other query!

Hello Diya, Sorry to hear that this is causing you alot of stress. For a pregnancy to take place a female’s egg should fertilise a sperm and then get implanted in the uterus and grow. Anything hampering with this sequence can cause difficulty to conceive. Also the timing of your intercourse is important. It should occur when your egg ruptures. A sperm can stay alive in the female genital tract for 72 hours so kindly time your intercourse accordingly along with the timing of your egg rupture. Other reasons which can cause difficulty in conceiving inspite of ruptured egg include- Any Genital infection, decreased sperm count or sperm mobility (will be diagnosed on semen analysis), any anatomical abnormality in the uterus such as fibroid uterus or septate uterus, any medical condition in the wife or husband such as Thyroid diseases, Diabetes. All of this will need further evaluation. I would suggest you to have an inperson consultation with a gynaecologist for further evaluation. Hope this helps!

please explain in detail.

I understand how uncomfortable and frustrating this must be for you, especially since it has been happening repeatedly for the past three months. From what you’ve described—painful pimples that start as cysts, turn white, and release pus—it’s likely due to blocked glands, folliculitis, or an infection. However, since it’s persistent, we need to consider other possibilities like Bartholin’s cyst, hidradenitis suppurativa, or even a bacterial infection. Here’s What You Can Do Right Now: 1. Warm Compress & Sitz Baths – Soaking in warm water 2-3 times a day can help ease discomfort and encourage natural drainage. 2. Keep the Area Clean & Dry – Use mild, fragrance-free soap and avoid harsh scrubbing. Cotton underwear is best. 3. Avoid Squeezing or Popping – This could worsen the infection and cause scarring. 4. Apply an Antiseptic Ointment – Something like Mupirocin or Betadine can help prevent further bacterial infection. 5. Pain Relief – If it’s too painful, you can take Ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort. When You Should See a Doctor: • If the pimples are not healing, growing larger, or becoming more painful. • If you develop fever, swollen lymph nodes, or unusual vaginal discharge. • If the issue keeps recurring despite home care. Since this has been ongoing for months, I really recommend seeing a gynecologist. They can examine you properly and suggest antibiotics, drainage, or any further tests if needed. Don’t worry—this is common and treatable, but getting to the root cause will help prevent future flare-ups.
